With Mother’s Day just around the corner, the pressure to get that perfect gift can seem daunting.

Buying a gift for someone can be difficult – buying a gift for someone you love can feel near impossible if you know they’re picky about certain things. Add to that the fact that we can’t see most of our loved ones at the moment due to the ongoing lockdown, and it starts to feel like a bit of a lost cause. With Mother’s Day just around the corner, the pressure to get that perfect gift can seem daunting.

But fear not! Here at VOIR we’ve put together a list of gift ideas that will make any Mum feel special this Mother’s Day. Rather than stick to generic staples that lack personality, we’ve come up with ideas that would make even the pickiest and trendiest of Mums giddy with excitement. She’s not any old Mum, you know. She’s YOUR Mum, and she deserves to know how cool she is. So, from sportswear to cocktail kits, we’ve got all you need to get started on your Mother’s Day shopping.

Statement Knitwear

It’s nowhere near warm enough to think about going outside without layers on layers, and spending time at home during lockdown has made many of us gravitate towards our jumpers, hoodies, and sweaters. However, we think it’s probably time to add a little *spice*, and a great way to do this is to incorporate a statement piece of knitwear into your daily rotation. Simplistically chic without looking like you’re trying too hard, a knit jumper or cardigan can elevate an outfit while still keeping your Mum nice and comfy during the WFH era. & Other Stories have an amazing mock neck sweater; we’ve listed the beige version below, but the sweater comes in twenty-three different colours that enable you to personalise it to your Mum’s tastes.

Cocktail Kits

An alcoholic pick-me-up is always a good choice if you know your Mum likes a good tipple. A fun alternative to your generic bottle of fizz, a cocktail kit can be a great gift that doubles as an activity you can share. If you are spending Mother’s Day with your Mum this year, a cocktail kit can act as a great way to spend an evening (or afternoon!) celebrating. Just bear in mind that some kits won’t come with all the equipment (such as cocktail shakers, spirit measurers, and glasses), so make sure you have these to hand already if you don’t!

Pyjama Sets

Whether satin or cotton, solid colour or patterned, pyjamas are a great gift that can add some zest to your Mum’s night-time ritual. A matching set gives off a classier vibe than your usual mismatched pair, which may be just what your Mum needs to get ready for the transition out of lockdown. No more ratty joggers, please and thank you. If your Mum prefers something classic and sleek then she’ll love this set from Calvin Klein, which boasts a silky finish and comes with an exclusive sleep mask. For those wanting a fun splash of colour, the set from Desmond & Dempsey should be right up their alley.

Candles

Candles are your stereotypical go-to gift option when it comes to Mother’s Day, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be fun or fancy. A candle is a more flexible gift than some, as they can work both as a main gift or a small add-on. We recommend scented candles especially, as then they can do more than sit prettily on the shelf; the experience of lighting them will be just as fun as looking at them. If you’re looking to plan a relaxing evening for your Mum, a candle is a good place to start.

Self-Care Hamper

A little bit of TLC can go a long way, and nothing says “treat yourself” more than a self-care hamper. From body wash and soaps to bath bombs and lotions, a hamper can fit in all the components needed to have a relaxing evening in the tub. Our favourite is the Lime & Bay Luxury Gift Set from The White Company, which is designed to make you feel like you’re stepping into a tropical garden. I think it’s time to get that bath running, don’t you?

Sportswear

2020 was a year that saw more people than ever take up some form of exercise in their homes. Whether your Mum was a gym bunny before lockdown or has recently grown into a love of all things active, a pair of gym leggings could be a great gift that can make your Mum feel good while she works out. And if exercise isn’t for her, then maybe she’ll be into the athleisure trend – leggings are the new suit trousers after all.

Sweet Treats

If your Mum has a sweet tooth, a chocolatey treat will likely make her Mother’s Day – and we’re not talking about a simple chocolate bar, either. You can find hampers and gift boxes with a variety of sweets and chocolates online, and some can even be customised to taste. The gift option also means you can send many of these boxes straight to your Mum’s door wrapped and ready. We recommend Hotel Chocolat’s Mother’s Day Champagne Collection, which packs in four different chocolate selections as well as a small bottle of champagne.


Flowers

When in doubt, flowers are always a good gift option that will brighten up the celebration. Rather than opt for a simple bouquet from the supermarket though, we suggest you splurge out on something a bit more luxurious – remember luxury isn’t the same as unaffordable! HAUTE have a range of hatbox flowers in various colours that will add a bright pop of colour to your Mum’s home, and their delivery service means that you can send the flowers straight to her home if you can’t make it there in person.

As the festive season draws closer, I am reminded of all the boyfriends of Christmas past. Not so much of the actual physical boyfriends themselves, but more specifically, I am reminded of the countless hours of late-night internet trawling, eyes dry from the time spent glued to my laptop screen, fingers aching from repeatedly typing in different variations of ‘what to get my boyfriend for Christmas’. Still none the wiser on what I should purchase after my hours of extensive research, this was usually followed by pegging it through town the morning of the day we had planned to exchange gifts, aggressively sidestepping through the masses of other fools who made the regrettable decision to go anywhere near anything that resembles a shop after December 1st.

And don’t get me started on the sacrifices I had to make to fund the gifts. All I’ll say is during the month of December it was goodbye Clinique cleanser, Lancôme foundation, and Pret for lunch and a frosty hello to ‘Wilko’s own’ makeup wipes, Primark foundation and a bleak home-made ham sandwich with a pack of cheese curls (the flavour-ly handicapped distant relative of the Quaver created by Aldi).

Obviously, depending on my relationship status, this process was a part of my yearly Christmas routine- I would go as far as to say it became my own personal festive tradition.

Apart from the years I found myself festively single, the result of this (almost) yearly procedure, no matter how much money, time, or effort I dedicated to it was always the same.

“Aw, Thanks babe, I love it.”

-puts it back in the bag

-uses once, at a push, twice. Or, If it was the new Fifa, it was used till the next new one came out (What an honour!)

-It is never seen again.

Clearly, me enduring the sacrifice of my essential beauty products and chicken and avocado salad had the adverse affect, as I am currently single. Therefore, I can confirm that every single hour, penny and ounce of effort I put into previous boyfriends’ Christmas presents was (in the long run) completely pointless.

Yes, Christmas is the season of giving. But come on girls, we all know we are members of the sex that possesses more of the tendencies that haters call manipulative, but I like to call wilful. Whatever you label it, the season where we can exercise these inherent abilities is upon us, and with gifts for our significant others, we can use them to our advantage!

SHEIN lace bodysuit, Naughty Knickers stockings and the La Perla suspender belt
SHEIN lace bodysuit, Naughty Knickers stockings and the La Perla suspender belt

Imagine his little face as you step round the corner of the bedroom wearing a slinky set of matching red undies, a lacy suspender belt and stockings invitingly skimming the middle of your thighs. He’ll be beaming like a Cheshire cat, blinded by your goddess-like sexiness, non-the-wiser to the fact that subsequent to the ‘big reveal’, you get a nice little set of underwear to keep and wear at your leisure.

A cocktail making class? Granted, it’s not the most manly of activities, but have faith- your cover won’t be blown! What man doesn’t like a drink? And in this day and age, who are we to judge a man for enjoying sipping on a Cosmo. Further adding to your case; this is an activity he couldn’t possibly do alone!

Rimowa Suitcase in Sage and a matching passport cover and luggage tags from Aspinal of London
Rimowa Suitcase in Sage and a matching passport cover and luggage tags from Aspinal of London

Pretty much anything that is available in more than one colour is a potential candidate for the holy grail of presents for him/you… the ‘matching set’. What do you fancy? A new dressing gown and slippers? A passport cover or a suitcase? Luggage tags to go on the suitcase? The possibilities are endless (as long as you can get it in black!)

If he’s into books, now is the ideal time to subtly infuse his collection with a few volumes that are much more educational and beneficial; try the ‘Date Night In’ cook book or ‘The Little Book of Karma Sutra’ for a gentle nudge in the right direction. Or ‘How to be A Good Boyfriend’, if you want to get straight to the point.

It is a widely acknowledged fact that men are 100% more attractive when they have a sexy trail of fresh smelling cologne following them around. Aftershave isn’t merely a gift for you disguised as a gift for him, but a gift for the relationship.

A spa weekend? A champagne experience on the London eye? A glamorous drinks trolley with a hamper of posh gin to store on it? All things he was probably unaware that he needed or would enjoy, but, you know what they say; sharing is caring!

The facts are straight forward, A big time investor would never invest their time and money into something they weren’t at least 100% sure they would get a return from. So, if you’re investing your valuable time, money and effort into your partner’s present, it makes sense to get a cheeky something out of it for yourself too, am I right or am I right?!

Obviously, I’m (half) joking. If you have the goodness in your heart to continue being the charitable saint I was for so long, please, don’t let bitter old single me stop you. However, if you have read this article and can so relate, we have carefully handpicked a selection of treats for you, disguised as thoughtful gifts for him. You can thank us later!

]]> Christmas is a time for giving and receiving. Some of us absolutely love Christmas shopping and make a whole day out of it. Starting with brunch in a little local cafe, a checklist of ideas for each friend/family member, and mandatory hot chocolate breaks to give your arms a rest. However, some of us can’t think of anything worse than Christmas shopping: trying to push your way through crowded city centres, stores blaring out the same few songs on a loop. If that sounds familiar, you’ve made it to the rights place.
